Preparations for events being organised to mark National Day on June 18 are going well, member of the National Celebrations Committee Gerard Lafortune told Nation yesterday.
Over 80 artists, dancers and singers from the three main islands will take part in the event at which President James Michel’s speech and a military parade will be the main highlights.
He said events will start at Stad Linite at 5.30pm where guests will be able to listen to the speech and watch the parade that will be mounted by 14 platoons including two from friendly nations.
These will be followed by a cultural show after which there will be a night fair that will end at 2am.
Public buses will start taking people free of charge from the districts from 2am and drive straight to the sports complex.
Passengers will not have to pay any fares as the committee will pay the Seychelles Public Transport Company for the service.
Given the many other events there have been, this year, the National Agricultural and Horticultural Show will take a rest but be back next year, he said.
